The p140 two-glider octomino hassler is a hassler found by Carson Cheng and iNoMed on August 27, 2023 based on a partial result from Mitchell Riley[1], and was reduced by iNoMed 5 days later.[2] At 58 cells, it's the smallest known period-140 oscillator.

It is not the only oscillator that hassles a two-glider octomino at period 140; the other known one can be seen here and is also an R-pentomino hassler.
